ONE CHANNEL OPERATION
KX series amplifiers are capable of operating into a minimum impedance of
2 ohm for the KX400.1, KX600.1 and 1 ohm for the KX1200.1.

Problems
3.) Amp will only play at low volume levels.
"Short circuit protection is engaged. Check for speaker wires shorted
to each other or the vehicle chassis. Damaged speakers or operating
below minimum impedance will also cause this.

In Watts

Dynamic Power

Sounds like a bad ground.

And although I don't recommend it as it will shorten the lifespan of the amp those 500a2's will run 2ohm mono all day long unless you're running tones flat out.
